.58 Caliber “Three Ring” Bullet with Mac Mason's Lettering
SOLD
This excavated .58 caliber “Three Ring” bullet is in excellent condition and is from the collection of the legendary Mac Mason. Mac Mason was a historian, author, and artist who applied his skillful and artistic lettering to many Civil War artifacts. This bullet is one of those artifacts and is marked with his recognizable lettering style. This example is marked on one side: "FLAT TIP CONE CAVITY / U.S." representing this bullet's cavity type, design, and side of the war that it was used by. Mac Mason also co-authored "Civil War Projectiles II Small Arms & Field Artillery with Supplement" which is still widely used by diggers and collectors in the identification of Civil War bullets, cartridges, artillery shells and fuzes. In the additional images to the left of this description is an image of Mac Mason and additional information about him. The surface of this bullet has a waxy tan-brown patina and will be an excellent addition to any Civil War bullet or general relic collection. Approx. .57 inch diameter & 1.03 inch length.
